“Yesterday was OK, we did more or less what we planned and we tried different things with the seat and the driving position. Today we improved the situation, the car feels good. We are pretty happy with how the handling is and how things are running. For sure there are things we have to improve but that is normal. It is only the first test. For us it is more important to have a good feeling and know what we have done and learn from those. It’s early days but it’s a good car and I think we have a good baseline like last year to work on. It’s difficult to compare [to last year’s car] as it is a different place and different tyres, but we are pretty happy with how the handling is and how things are running.”

Kimi Raikkonen: We try to do better and hopefully we manage to do it. Everybody is aiming to do better they did the previous years. Even if you win the championship you try and improve things and I cannot promise that we will manage to do that, but hopefully that is our aim and hopefully we can do that. It is more easy because I know the team, and I know the people, and they know me. But it doesn’t mean we will suddenly be better and do better. There are an awful lot of things that can work in your favour or go against you. In theory it should be more easy. But I don’t count on it that we are suddenly going to start to turn it around and start to be something different to how we finished last year. Time will tell. It is definitely more easy to come here and be here than it was a year ago because I know the team.”

KRS NOTICE

Hello dear fan, since the end of the 2015 Italian GP I had decided to take a break away from KRS website, so that means a lack of posts and photo albums. But updates remain on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Sorry :(
